Hi, another newbie is here!
Posted: Fri Dec 07, 2012 10:57 am
Dear all,
my name is Milan, and I am an agent/promoter of the book that was written by my friend Thomas. I like to read general fiction, non/fiction, and sometime crime fiction. I also work as a researcher in the field of Slavic literature.
Several years ago I started reading as many books in English as I could, because I wanted to develop my language skills and understanding, but also, I wanted to have the pleasure of reading English books in English. So far, I am quite happy with the range of authors I could grasp and understand. Yet, there are names that are still unreachable like A. S. Bayatt, Henry James, Iris Murdoch, Joyce Carol Oates, etc.
Currently I am reading the novel by Alison Lurie, The truth about Lorin James. Before this one, I read Foreign Affairs and I was really amazed how masterful and simple her writing is, but yet, how profound insights she offers to a reader.
I hope I will also have the opportunity to share my experience with the novel that I would like to promote and suggest to all of you.
But, that will happen in another topic.
All the best from cold Belgrade,
Milan
